Taking A Break

We will be traveling to Malaysia soon for a break. It's not really a break a.k.a 'vacation' but it's still a 'break' for me after being coop up in the house for homeschooling my kids. I think I really need this  change from our usual routine and setting. My kids need this too so, as to meet our old friends in Malaysia and meet new ones. Oh, they just love to travel.. since it also means , 'no homeschool' for them. Anyways, even though I know that we will be a bit busy during this 'break' but I pray that it will be a blessed one! Praying too that we will be refreshed and ready to start our homeschool for 2013!!

The Rainy Season is Back

Oh, it's already the rainy season. It just rained heavily the whole day and I couldn't help but think of the rainy days ahead. I used to love the rain.. I love it because it's cold and makes me just want to drink coffee, curl up on the sofa with a good book. But with heavy rains here in our place, I just don't worry about cushions on the patio getting wet, but also of our outside draining to become full and overflow. But it's a good thing that our kitchen drain has been repaired by our house owner, because now it doesn't overflow fast as it used to. 

Kids' Video to Zane

I'm amused as to how my kids and their cousins are sending videos to each other. My niece, Zane has actually started this by telling my kids what she's eating or what she's doing in her videos. So, we sent her a response ( video) from the video she made. 

I plan to create more videos for my kids' cousins because it's also a great way for them to keep in touch with each other. Maybe next time we can also record them singing songs from recorders like the new sony pcm-m10 white at musician's friend. But as of now, my daughter is excited to create a tutorial video for her cousins to see.

A Beautiful Day Indeed!

I thank God for His love, His grace, protection and guidance for the past 30 something years in my life! I thank God for family and friends who truly love me and take care of me. Indeed, I can't be thankful enough for EVERYTHING that God has given me.. He has blessed me in every way and in every good thing.

I especially thank God for my birthday has been like celebrated for 3 days! I've got blown and cut 3 different cakes at 3 different occasions and been with people who are truly dear to me. Oh, God's blessings and love overwhelms me! Thank You Lord!! and indeed I had a beautiful and happy birthday!! :))

*pictures to follow soon..:)

Music at the Start of the Day

One of the first things that I do in the morning is to tune in to KLove.com. I just love to listen to Christian music and whenever there's no music that's playing, the house just seems too quiet. Listening to this kind of music has also rubbed on to my kids as I can hear them singing the songs they hear. They just need a live band with fender telecaster deluxe at musicians friend to accompany them. :) Sometimes, I can't help but be amazed that they can memorize the song lyrics better than me. Or maybe I'm just  bad with remembering  lyrics.

Anyways, if you haven't tried it yet. Try starting your day with inspiring music, and you can see that indeed you're spirits can be lifted up very early in the morning. :)
